Mr. Wilton immediately alighted, and'to his surprise found a young girl lying between the bonnet of the truck and the front mudguard. When picked up the girl, Janet Hardy, of Norfolk Boad, appeared to be slightly dazed, but she soon recovered, and was conveyed to her home by Mr. AVilton.

At her home Ihe girl was attended by Dr. J. A. Cowic, and her condition is reported as satisfactory. She- is suffering from slight head injuries and shock.
